Referral programs for startups

Launch with a waitlist that grows itself

People move up the list for every friend they invite, before you spend a dollar on ads.

No card to set up · $9/mo when you go live · Cancel anytime

A referral waitlist turns launch interest into a sharing loop. Early fans get earlier access by inviting friends, and you launch with a list instead of an empty room.

A reward you can launch today

When it pays out

Example: if each of your first 200 signups invites just one friend, you launch to 400.

Switch the campaign to a regular double-sided reward and keep growing.
